The testing of new ‘hyper-fast’ broadband has been trialled by BT, the service has been rolled out to Cornish-based engineering firm Arcol.

The service is being delivered through a direct link with BT’s Turo exchange and provides speeds that are so fast that computer and networking speeds are unable to match the speeds that can be delivered.

Technical director at Arcol, Alun Morgan, said: “We are still only just discovering the sorts of things we can do with these speeds, such as taking advantage of services like videoconferencing and using a cloud-based ERP system so we can access this information elsewhere, and it has enabled us to be much more efficient and aggressive”.
